I do think it is important to recognize that Casas and Chang are largely interchangeable...
-
He doesn't hit much, but I would like to try him as corner OF. I think he has the footspeed and arm strength for the positions, but it's a question of whether or not he can actually catch a flyball thats not hit right to him...
-
Or the Marlins FO just values him differently. More important, with the Marlins getting yet another middle infielder, does this put Joey Wendle back in play for Boston?
-
And Moncada was #3 in 2016 and #2 in 2017…
-
And they probably valued Downs more than we did…
-
I’d bet he’s more highly regarded by the Sox than on here. They did acquire him in a trade after all. We on Talksox didn’t do that. (I wanted Graterol than and still do.)
-
I listed Rafaela. Hamilton? Maybe. But teams often go through more pitchers than pinch runners…
-
I could see him added to the 40 man once Story can be placed on the 60 day IL…
-
I probably should have added the caveat that not all will debut for Boston. But either way, I needed a risky prediction. All the other ones I chose are likely to start in AAA and are on the 40 man roster
-
MLB debuts this year? I’d say Mata, Walter, Murphy, Valdez, Rafaela and maybe Feltman. That list is very often pitcher-heavy…
-
And Wyatt Mills
-
Wendle looks less likely now that Miami has dealt Rojas, but he certainly fits my DRS theory as a 2b. I’d still prefer a SS…
-
Agreed. But this is not exactly a new behavior from BA; they’ve always listed Japanese free agents as prospects regardless of age..
-
What works against Yoshida is he’s already 29. None of the other 99 players listed are 2 years into their prime …
-
Well if you’re the Cardinals, and you have this $9mill shortstop who plays great D and has serious pop, but struggles mightily against MLB fastballs, and that you demoted to the minors last year, do you take a flier on Barnes, knowing worst case scenario is you lose $1.6mill? And if you’re Bloom, do you want a prospect - even a fringe one - included?
-
Also, Ort has gas. True. But so did Jacob Wallace, who was traded away. So did Julian Merryweather, whom he passed up on waivers. So does Manny Rodriguez, sitting out there on waivers right now. Ort throws hard. But so do a lot of pitchers…
-
I assume “???” means “non-photoshopped jpegs of compromising positions”…
-
No way are they the oldest. Last year, the Sox were the 11th oldest team with an average age of 28.8 years, just behind the Miami Marlins. Adding Jansen, Martin and Duvall certainly ups them a bit lit. But bear in mind we also lost Rich Hill, among others…
-
Ort appears to be immovable. Whatever blackmail he has on Bloom, it’s apparently rock solid…
-
So do you trade him now? His good first half might be worth acquiring for some team. If the Sox are out of it at the deadline, there will be no shortage of tradable pieces…
-
Hey Kepler can play a mean right field…
-
Depends. The Sox could deal Barnes ($10.6mill including buyout) for Paul DeJong ($9mill) and fill their shortstop void, which then fills the second base void when Kike flips over to the other side of the diamond. But given Barnes’ strong finish, should they?
-
Exactly. He makes more than Pivetta and Brasier combined…
-
I doubt he gets let go for that specific move. But the big picture at present doesn’t look good. I mean, we saw a GM select an unprotected Johan Santana in the Rule 5 draft and then trade him for some random human being named Jared Camp. That GM was Dave Dombrowski, and it didn’t inhibit his ability to build a career..
-
Keep me posted for when it is. I’m actually holding back…
